A Baby Shower for Beckham - Gifts!

I know it's hard to pick-out a gift for a family that already has 3 kids, but our friends were super creative and generous - - and hooked Beckham up with some really neat stuff!

Our friends Karianne and David even put together a lovely gift box full of "Mom pampering" treats like lotions, candles, bath stuff, and chocolate for me to enjoy! What fun! Thanks guys!

Kathy and Johnny found a cute tummy-time mat in the shape of a surf board to remind little Beckham of his California roots!

Jessica and Brandon picked out a really special ceramic cross with a special message for Beckham that we plan to hang in his nursery.
Ron and Christine found a Leap Pad learning toy just for infants... our big boys love their leap pad, so I'm sure this will be a big hit with Beckham!


Karen, Allen, and Nick picked out some adorable brown bear Robeez (our favorite shoes in the whole world for the kids) just the right size for baby Beckham. Can't wait to try them on him!


Tawnya made Beckham a special quilt with a fishing theme (given this is North Idaho, and Brice's penchant for trips to Round Lake). A true heirloom that we will always treasure! Tawnya also found a really special little outfit that I think we will use to bring home Beckham from the hospital in.

Kris and Steve picked out a series of our favorite board books (thank heavens, since all of ours have been chewed-on by several children and have seen much better days!) and a cool Baby Einstein CD to play for Beckham.


Nicole, Eric, Jenn, Jason, and April got together and created a series of Western-themed pails and stuffed them with goodies for Beckham. Each pail had a special tag for it's theme... this one was "B is for Beckham" and had cute jeans and a flannel shirt, a special snugly cow blanket, Beckham's first cowboy boots, and more!

The "B is for Baby Boy" pail had diapers, wipes, and a super cool camo outfit among other treats.

The "B is for Bath time" pail had a multitude of Burts Bees creams, lotions, soaps, and powders, some cute bath toys, and a series of Western/Cowboy rubber duckies.


Here is the super cute "Beckham's first camo" outfit

And here are Beckham's first cowboy boots.

Krystal and Angus picked out a beautiful family-themed black and white picture frame that will be perfect in Beckham's nursery, and Sarah and Ryan hooked Beckham up with a gift card for Old Navy where we plan to get him a little something special.

Our friends Heather and Chris couldn't make it to the shower, but they dropped-off an adorable froggy 3-piece outfit for Beckham along with some other goodies that I can't wait to put on him.

THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU!!!

You guys are the best friends anyone could ask for, and our family is very blessed to have people like you in our support circle.
